Determining and Improving Backup Start Time Performance

Use the Backup Start Time SLA report to gauge your backup efficiency. The Backup Start Time SLA report consists of a bar chart that provides a visual indicator of how long backups take to complete. Backup completion time is measured in days.

After you use this chart to identify the backups that represent poor performance, you can drill down to determine the causes so that you can prevent inefficiencies in the future. Your SLA determines what values represent poor performance vs. excellent performance. However, if you don't currently have an SLA implemented, strive for Good (31-60 minutes) performance by improving backup jobs with Average to Poor performance.

See Available Service Level Agreement (SLA) Reports.
